Abstract :
We present experimental results on transmission of twenty 10 GE channels over 334 km long fibre link composed of 3 spans mixing 234 km of non-zero dispersion shifted (NZ DSF) and 100 km of standard single mode fibre (SSMF). Distributed Raman amplification in the 3 fibre spans is realized by counter-directional timedivision multiplexed pumping.
